There are always only around 2-3 barrels of the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Craipillot. The Pinot Noir grapes come from the oldest vines of the domain. It sprays out of the glass with scents of dark berries, cherries, spices and baking chocolate. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with sweet, powdery tannins and a long, mouth-watering finish.

ABOUT DOMAINE HUMBERT FRÈRES

The brothers Emmanuel (Manou) and Frédéric Humbert are the fourth generation of wine producers of the Humbert family estate. They took over the estate from their parents in 1989 and have steadily improved the quality of their wine ever since. Their wines are highly sought after and excel in harmony and balance. . Emmanuel is the dynamic force behind this domain: a thoughtful and passionate man with a great love for wine, food and rugby. Ten years ago, the Humbert brothers switched roles with Manou moving to the winery and Frédéric moving to the vineyard, and they haven't looked back since. Manou, a larger-than-life, rugby-playing winemaker, brings a clear definition to his wines. There is noticeable clarity between the brothers' many terroirs in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin, impressive precision indeed. Read more in the Tab: Wijhuis

ABOUT GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in the Burgundian Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the Classic style is typically deeper in color, firmer in body and more tannic in texture than most red Burgundies. While there have been numerous underachievers here in the past, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best has the potential to develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world...........

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru toont donkere bessen en kersen, kruidigheid en vleugen bakchocolade, met een medium tot vol mondgevoel, gelaagde frisheid, zoete poederige tannines en een lange, verrukkelijke afdronk. De stevige tannines en levendige zuurgraad snijden prachtig door het vet van rund en lam, staan de diepe smaken van wild en kruidige charcuterie bij en komen heerlijk tot hun recht naast gerijpte kazen; probeer hem bij een gegrilde entrecote of cote de boeuf rosé tot medium, langzaam geroosterd lam met rozemarijn en knoflook of een venisonragout met jeneverbessen en rodewijnsaus, en bij kaas kies voor oude harde kazen zoals Comté of belegen Gouda voor extra harmonie.

On the domain, the emphasis is on manual working methods, including ploughing, green harvesting, if necessary, thinning of leaves and bunches. The grapes undergo a cool maceration of several days before fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. Over-extraction and too firm tannins are always avoided. All wines mature in Burgundy oak barrels from the forests around Châtillon. 50% new oak for all wines, except for the grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, which is aged on 100% new oak.
